Legal and Ethical Considerations: Recruiting
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Screening You may discover protected characteristics about a candidate by screening them via social media. If you use social media screenings, they should be conducted at the same point in the application process for each candidate. Any information found on social media must be used legally. Over 20 US States have some law related to the ban of employee/applicant screenings via social media
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Employee Advocacy Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain from any or all of such activities except to the extent that such right may be affected by an agreement requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment as authorized in section 8(a)(3) [section 158(a)(3) of this title].
